Automotive Clutch Market to Grow with a CAGR of 5.95% Globally through to 2029

Technological advancements, rising vehicle demand in emerging markets, and stringent emission regulations are the factors driving the global automotive clutch market in the forecast period 2025-2029. 

According to TechSci Research report, “Automotive Clutch Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2029F”, the Global Automotive Clutch Market stood at USD 21.3 Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 5.95% in the forecast period, 2025-2029. The global automotive clutch market has been growing rapidly in the past few years mainly due to the rising automobile production across the globe. This expansion is attributable to the increased consumers’ need for both the passenger and commercial cars in the global market. Newly industrialized and urbanized countries have been the major drivers of this growth as people and goods have to be moved from one place to another effectively. New innovations in automotive clutch systems like the dual-clutch and automated manual transmission have also spurred the market growth through increased vehicle efficiency. These innovations not only enhance the comfort of driving but also satisfy the current market trends of consumers who demand cars with better performance parameters.

However, there are several factors that are expected to affect the automotive clutch market in a negative way hence affecting its growth rate. One of the significant threats is the volatility of the costs of raw materials used in the production of clutches like steel and aluminum. These price changes can influence the cost of production and the profits or losses that manufacturers make, hence, altering the market. Also, the ever-tightening emission and fuel efficiency standards have put pressure on automotive firms to spend huge amounts of money on research in order to develop environmental friendly clutch systems. Such a structure of regulation is both a threat and a benefit for the market players to develop and diversify their offers while meeting the new standards of environmental legislation. Another challenge is the transition to EVs as clutches are not usually needed in most EV powertrains which may decrease the demand in this segment.

In the future, the automotive clutch market would be able to leverage on opportunities that are brought by the increasing use of electric and hybrid automobiles. Since manufacturers are focusing on electrification to decrease the carbon emission and achieve sustainability targets, the need for clutch systems designed for hybrid transmissions is anticipated to grow. Another growth opportunity lies in the aftermarket segment for automotive clutches and related services as the global demand for fleets grows. The ever changing market requirements will be met by advancements in material science and manufacturing techniques as a way of sustaining competitiveness and exploiting opportunities in the automobile industry. Also, as the automated and self-driving cars are being developed, there could be new opportunities for clutch technology to be introduced or designed to meet the demands of these sophisticated car systems.

Passenger cars consist of a wide range of vehicles that are used for private purposes and these include the following, the Sedans, hatchbacks, Sports Utility Vehicles-SUVs and Crossovers. The automotive clutches in this segment are also demanded due to the globalization and the increase in the disposable income per capita, which allows people around the world to purchase personal vehicles. This has in turn led to high demand for passenger vehicles hence boosting the demand for automotive clutch systems. With the urbanization and people’s tendency to own cars, there is a steady increase in the market of clutch systems in passenger cars.

On the other hand, commercial vehicle can be defined as any vehicle that transports goods or people and this can range from trucks, buses, vans and utility vehicles among others. The use of automotive clutches in commercial vehicles depends on economic activities like transportation of goods, construction, and public transport. Robust and efficient clutch systems are critical in commercial vehicles to enable them to perform consistently in different load conditions and operating conditions. As the business of international trade and industries grows, there is an increasing need for the production of commercial vehicles with good clutch systems. This growth is again backed up by the fleet modernization and infrastructure development projects all around the world, where there is a need for reliable clutch solutions to meet high levels of operational demands.

Each segment of the automotive clutch market has its prospects and risks, whether it is a passenger car or commercial vehicle market. In the case of passenger car application, the emphasis is gradually shifting toward improving driving comfort, fuel economy, and vehicle dynamism by utilizing better clutches like DCT and AMT. These innovations correspond to the consumer demand for better gear shifting and lower fuel consumption, which is also in line with the global trend of embracing environment-friendly and sustainable means of transport.

Regionally, the automotive clutch market also has some peculiarities. North America has a well-developed automotive industry, excellent production facilities, and the emphasis on the development of technologies. The market growth of the region is due to the increasing emission norms which are encouraging the use of better clutch systems to have better fuel efficiency and less emission. In East Asia and more so in countries like China and Japan, the market is backed with a large customer base and industrialization thereby creating a large demand for both the passenger and the commercial vehicle. The focus on efficient production processes and high car output that is characteristic of the region successfully meets the local and export markets’ needs. Western Europe is characterized by a highly rigorous legal regime that promotes the use of environmentally friendly transport solutions and contributes to the adaptation of efficient clutch solutions in vehicles in accordance with emissions. This coupled with the fact that the region has a penchant for buying premium and luxury cars fuels clutch market demand. On the other hand South Asia especially India and most of the ASEAN countries are experiencing rise in demand with growing disposable income, urbanization and infrastructure development. This region’s market is changing to small and inexpensive vehicles, and their increased use will require clutches designed for small to mid-size automobiles.
